if u are talking about everyday jobs like cleaning, etc., it is
because no singaporeans (or rather few) want to do those jobs. And
it's cheaper hiring them. Can you imgaine hiring the everyday
singaporean (maybe the surrent generation)? Prob complain about
everything also. haha. If you're talking about jobs in banks, etc.,
then it's because of sg's small population. With it's small pop,
talent is essential. If we just ignore individual problems and look
at singapore as a whole, then it's more pragmatic to get talent
overseas if they are smarter than you right? After all, they work
here (or zhao after a few yrs) and contribute to the economy. It's
brutal but true. Sg is moving to a moving towards value creation
rather than value added so if there are better talents out there,
why not? Im just looking at it at a practical point of view.
However, I find it funny that they just have to work here for
like 3-5 yrs? Our gov pay for they university fees, give them
monthly allowance some more, and i've yet to meet one china scholar
who actually wants to stay in sg to work. All want to zhao when
their bond is over. Looks like a waste of our money and space. No
offence to them of course, if i were them i'll also would do the
same :p
